"I initially saw Tai Chi simply as a way to build an added form of exercise into my daily routine. However, Sifu Fred presented a learning experience that far surpassed my initial perception of what I thought would be primarily rote memorization. By interweaving the fascinating history and beauty of the Tai Chi ruler form, Sifu Fred brought the class to life. It made learning easier and certainly fun! And it has become an added benefit to my daily routine."

"I have known Sifu Fred for a good 25 years, 15 of those years as his student. His background of personal Tai Chi study coupled with his knowledge of Chinese medicine makes him a very thorough, skilled teacher, offering his students a true wealth of knowledge."

"Thirteen years ago I signed up for a Tai Chi class taught by Sifu Fred Jennes. I completed the beginner’s class, took 2 more of the same and then took every one offered after that time. The classes had a lot of different things to offer as Sifu had extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine, being practiced in acupuncture, herbal remedies, to exercises in Qi Gong, sword form and his own ruler form. With Sifu’s ongoing guidance and company of others of the same interests, I have joined the quest to age more pleasantly and practice the knowledge I have accumulated."

"I have been training with Sifu Fred for over a decade. Some of the things I have learned along with the Tai Chi form is physical and mental balance and strength. When I practice the forms I enjoy the focus and movement needed to do them correctly."
